Re: .308 Die Choice for FTR

which is why the last thing that touches the inside of the case on my bushing die is one of their floating carbide expander balls. Small, smoother, slicker, and self-centering, it pretty much does away with the traditional arguments against using expander balls. Combined with a properly selected size of bushing to where the ball just 'kisses' the inside of the neck on the way out (vs dragging all the way out)... gives nice, straight necks that have been resized just enough, not too much, and are nice and straight.
Now awaiting the torrent of opinions from people who have never tried the above setup, but 'know' expander balls are the root of all evil...
